Till death do us apart!

Till death do us apart!

As I see your sweet angelic face staring blankly through me

I search for words...search for a flicker of hope...

As I wipe my tears and put on my happy face

I know you know when you give your pained and helpless expression...

Oh how I yearn for that warm embrace, the smell of your clothes, your hair...

The comfort of your lap, the irritated yet filled with love face...

How do I get through you to tell you how much I love you...

How I can get the world to your feet just for that divine smile...

Why oh why is Fate so cruel...why do you have to suffer so...

As I wait patiently with a heavy heart, I know there's only so much I can do...

As I wait for divine intervention, and hope and pray as I've never before...

To get you back to me, for I'm not ready to let you go...

There is so much I want to say, so much I want to show...

So just be with me, don't go away yet, for I Love you so...

Let me savour every moment with you, relive and make new memories,

I'm just an arm's length away, yet the distance is killing me...

My beloved mother, just know I'm here for you forever...

Till death do us apart....

And then the fateful day dawned bright and clear and I knew this was it...

You hugged me hard to give me strength, for you knew I needed it for what was to come

I paced like a caged animal when I heard your raspy breath, as I tried to deny the inevitable

Fighting my tears, I sat by your bed, holding your lovely soft hands...

As you looked into my eyes, I calmed down and then in one moment our roles reversed

I patted your head and chanted divine words and said we loved you, 

i whispered...be strong Ma, just let go...for you do not deserve to suffer any more...

As I kissed you goodbye...and closed your eyes....

I knew now you would finally be at peace....

Yes, Death did us apart....

I close my eyes and I see the beautiful smile on your kind face

I know you're there for me guiding me through life's tricky maze

Just the way you held my little hand and taught me to take my first step

I count on you darling mother and will do so for every moment I'm awake

...For you're not just my mother anymore, you're my guardian angel ....
